As the Germans eapitulated, behind them lay the remnants of a once all-powerful army, which, like Napalean's, underestimated the vast steppes of Russia, and then found the U. S. and Britain gathering foree behind Its baek; behind them lay Germany's blackened cities and shattered railway lines, pulverised by Allied aerial attacks; and behind them in the rains of Berlin reportedly lay Adolf Hitler's dead body.

"Foik the triumph of spirit and of arms which we have won and for Its promise to people everywhere who Join us In the love of freedom, It is fitting that we as a nation give thanks to Almighty God, who has strengthened as and given us the victory. Now, therefore, I Harry 8. Truman, President of the United States of America, do hereby appoint Sonday, May M, 1945, to be • day, of prayer. "I call upon my eonntrymen to dedicate this day of prayer to the memory of those who have given their lives to makf possible our victory." --s HARRY 8. TRUMAN. The begiiiniiig of the and-death struggle known aa "World War II" is generally aet aa September l, 1939, the dajr the German armies rolled into Poland. Two days later France and England declared war on Germany. Blitzkrieg tactics flattened Polish resistance in leas than a month. Then began tfefhalf year of "phoney war" at the Hraginot line. In the spring of 1940 German troops overran Norway and Denmark, forcing out the British. Early in May the campaign that frightened the entire world opened. Holland, Belgium and then France itself capitulated by the middle of June. Italy came in on Germany's side. The British expeditionary force barely escaped destruction at Dunkerque. September, 194S, saw the massed air attacks on Britain by which Hitler hoped for a quick victory. The RAF hold of the Nasi bombera until winter, when weather brought a slack* . ening of attacks. That autumn of 1949 was probably the period of gravest peril to civilisation In taany centuries. Britain almost succumbed. | During the spring of 1941 Nasi I troops smashed into the Balkans to | aid the Italians, invading Yugoslavia i and Greece. Bulgaria joined the Axis | voluntarily. Germany controlled all 1 of continental Europe excepting j Russia by the middle of the year. 1 Without warning on June 22, Nazi j armies crossed the Russian border in a#tremendous drive.

In the fall American and British troops landed in northern Africa. The great Russian counteroffensive began in February of 1943. It rolled fiercely until mid-July, wher the retreating Nazis stiffened and brought it to a standstill in central Poland. Meanwhile the air offensive from the British Isles was battering German cities and ports, pre paratory to the invasion. June 6, 1944, was the big day--the invasion of western Europe from England. After landing on the coast of France, American and Britis!* troops battled inland. Almost all France was under Allied control by November, 1944. Advance tank units were attacking on the German border by December. A substantial German counteroffensive wa checked as the year ended. On March 2 the American. Ninth army reached the Rhine river.

With America scheduled to take over the occupation ,of central and western Germany and western Austria in accordance with Allied plans to maintain strict supervision over the country until a thoroughly, democratic administration can be established, U. S. military authorities figure on the detention of 400,000 Yanka in Europe. As in the case in most wars, Germany's collapse came with a dramatic suddenness after a period of fierce ^resistance. The %rst big break that signalized Germany's disintegration was the U. S. 1st army's surprise capture of front lost its coherence, contributing to the disintegration of Nazi resistance. With whole groupa of German troops entrapped without hope of reinforcement, their defense varied, with the majority of the older, more practical men giving up upon being cornered while younger fanatics carried on in the face of overwhelming odds. Meanwhile, the Russians had drawn up along the banks of the Oder river from the Baltic clear down to Silesia, while still other Red armies thrust eastward through Czechoslovakia and Austria.
